RECIPE
Today it’s kind of Asian dish for lunch box. I used Black bean Spaghetti shape which is organic, gluten free, high in Protein, fiber and rich in Iron. Don't expect the texture of this Black bean Spaghetti like other normal ones. It’s very nutty and little chewy. When it is dressed with flavorful sauce and crunchy it tastes good. Make sure you make this couple of hours before to get full flavor and taste.

2. Now heat peanut oil in a wok, add ginger and garlic.
3. Once raw aroma disappears add the peppers, edamame, and snow peas sauté couple of times and make sure it is 3/4th cooked but firm.
4. Now add the dressing and switch of the flame.
5. Now in the same wok add the cooked Spaghetti and fried Tofu. Toss well so that everything is mixed well and sauce is coated all over.
